Little Lucian is going to be 6 months at the end of this month. He is so big :(
He has shown interest in food for the last several weeks, but I have been holding off for several reasons:
1. So Joe can be involved
2. Wait as close to 6 months as possible for better digestive flow
3. Not really necessary for breastfed babies until after 6 months old
Well, he has been trying to grab mama's food and utensils even more lately. He makes me feel guilty for eating in front of him without sharing. Therefore, yesterday with dinner Lucian had his own small bowl of avocado. Yes, he had his first solid food (April 7th, 2011). The first thing he did was pick the plate up and dump it on the blanket (expected). He made quite the mess and he had fun. He and the blanket were covered in smashed avocado. I wasn't sure if he even got any in his mouth! He did take a nibble off the piece i was holding; he pulled it into his mouth I was just holding it. We, of course, followed everything with a bath. It was a necessity at that point. I'm very proud of him; I know it was hard to grasp. Not sure if we will try again tonight or wait a bit. Pooping today was definitely a dreadful task for him. Lesson of the day for Lucian and mama: Solid food = solid poop.
